“Superb Quality, Great Location and Fantastic Views”



“We booked the cottage as the base for my Aunt's 60th birthday celebrations.
The property exceeded all expectations. Lots of space, great wood burning stove, large kitchen, 2 minute walk to the village (with its fantastic pubs) and Dog friendly.
We were met and checked in with ease and found ourselves at home very quickly.
The bedrooms are good sizes and all everything you need.
Lush fluffy towels were also nice.
Great value get away in a great village in a perfect spot for exploring the rest of the lake district.
Fun bumping into the Paul (the postman and also husband of Ann the owner) in the pub as well as Phoebe (the owners daughter) working behind the bar in the Black Cock pub in the village.
We can highly recommend the above mentioned pub as well as the Village Butchers.”

“Cosy, Comfortable & Relaxing House”



“A Lovely House”



“This lovingly restored and high specification rental house was spacious enough for three of us to almost live independently of each other but come together for meals and the evenings. Three doctors stayed here in June 2014 - we rarely meet except for occasional annual holidays together and this property was a perfect solution to our need for space and comfort. The railed garden is safe for dogs (and children) and given the south aspect the garden which has terrific lawns was perfect for warm al fresco breakfasts and then lying out in the sun for a while. The views towards the sea across fields of sheep and the church to the left are delightful and the proximity to the village itself made for easy and classy food shopping. The bakers and butchers as well as the post office are all you need, but the gifts of bread, cake and milk upon arrival were a nice touch c/o Paul. The owners are very proximate and they both called by to say hello and chatted amiably wanting us to be as comfortable as possible. The fact that the sea and vast expanse of beach at Silecroft is but 8 miles away made for both sunny and at times bracing long walks with the dogs. The inland lakes are also easy to get to with both Hartknot and Kirkstone passes well worth a day out. The kitchen and main bathroom are spacious and there is one downstairs loo and shower in case of a mad rush for the main bathroom i the morning? There is a multi fuel stove which we did not test drive, but that would come into its own in the winter and the living space naturally divides into two spaces depending upon how you arrange the sofas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return, we think next year? In the meantime I am planning a winter trip to stay again since I am my two Dalmatians love it - and the beach...and the....We give this property an unreserved 5*.

“A real treat awaits any group or large family awaits!!”

“This is one of the best properties I have rented for some time, a group of nine adults stayed here for a long weekend.
We had loads of room without intruding on somebody else's space.
All the facilities are first class from the large kitchen, huge living room, amazing dining room, superb shower room and family bathroom which could have been another bedroom.
All said a great rental property with no negatives that come to mind!!”

“One of the best larger rentals in the area;”



“I have rented cottages, barns & houses in the lakes for many years too many to mention;
This is the most spacious fully equipped property I have rented over the years, we had nine adults stay here for a long weekend with space for everybody to relax I could not praise this place highly enough.
The owners are nearby and ready and willing to help if you need them, booking was simple, directions perfect;
The pubs in the area were a little disappointing with the exception of the ever brilliant Manor Arms the beer here is as always perfect the other bars need to up their game the beer in one was shocking!
About 1/2 mile away is the Blacksmith Arms with good beer and great food catering for a large group with ease highly recommended:
The property is clean fresh and on the ball;”

“Beautiful cottage”



“We stayed over the half term week in October, a family of six. The photos really don't do this cottage justice. It has been tastefully modernised and renovated with everything you could possibly require to make your stay comfortable. The owners are extremely helpful without being intrusive and we received excellent communications from them regarding our holiday. The cottage was very clean, warm and cosy. It's location is superb, close enough to the lakes and the tourist spots but gets you away from the crowds at the end of the day. It is located in the beautiful village of Broughton in Furness with it's fantastic shops, pubs and restaurants, everything you could possibly want in a holiday.”

“We loved this house”



“We stayed for 10 days in October and didn't want to leave, the house is excellent and has everything you need for a cosy stay. Fab kitchen, lovely bedrooms, beautiful garden and huge living room.
The owners we also very lovely and extremely helpful!
Great pubs and lots to do in and around the area too. Try horse riding on the beach at Silecroft.”

“The cottage is large and well laid out, well equipped and in a great location. The owner was always available and very helpful. Broughton in Furness is a very welcoming town with all the facilities you could ask for.”

Mr Germani, Lymm, September 2016

“Cottage was in a lovely village but as the road in front of the cottage was used as a cut through there was more traffic noise at peak times than expected.
The garden was fenced but the gaps into the neighbours and the width of the fencing at the front meant that it was not secure for a small dog.
Other than that a really nice cottage in a great location.”

Ms Pringle, Pudsey, September 2016

“Wonderful little cottage that provided a perfect base for our holiday! The local village was lovely and the village bakery and butcher were excellent!”

Miss Cooper, Farnborough, July 2016

“This was a great base for touring around within easy reach of the local village with excellent pubs and shops. It was very friendly and welcoming to both humans and dogs, a spacious and warm accommodation with everything you could ask for. the owner was helpful and attentive in discreet way. We much preferred this part of the Lakes to the more touristy bit further North and East.”

Mr Clubb, Stirling, April 2016

“Had a very comfortable stay. There was plenty of room and very comfortable beds. The owner was very pleasant and informative. It was in a lovely location, there was nothing to fault.”

Mrs Hodge, SOUTHPORT, March 2016

“We love staying at Church View! This was our 3rd time here! Church View is everything you want in a holiday home! It was well equipped with lovely big rooms and we always enjoy the log burner! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”

Mrs Chadwick, Shrewsbury, February 2016

“The cottage was a good size & well thought out. Heating was very good, didn't need to light the wood burner. The location was excellent. Local pubs & shops were close by & had everything you needed, very good!”

Miss Watts, BEDFORD, October 2015

“In a good location on the edge of the village. The cottage was comfortable and homely, and was very suitable for the whole family (including two dogs). There were nice walks around area and the village of Broughton was very pleasant with local shops, cafe's and pubs. The owners were friendly and helpful.”

Mr Fortune, BRISTOL, May 2015

“Everything was great, it was the best value cottage we have stayed at ever. We had everything we wanted..except the weather! Even the bad weather was catered for with the roaring fire and extensive board games. We loved it and the owner was helpful and relaxed about everything.”

Mr Stinton, Ilkley, March 2015

“Church View is a fabulous place to explore the Lake District. The house itself is a cosy and warm base for any holiday. The owners are very friendly and informative. Broughton-in-Furness village is very quaint with the bakers and butcher's serving high quality food. There are also a number of great walks that start at the square. I would definitely stay here again.”

Mr Watson, WARRINGTON, February 2015

“Large detached building with nice sized bedrooms and living room, plenty of parking space, lovely views of the Church & estuary and a large secure grassed garden for my dog. Everything we needed was provided and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The village with plentiful pubs is lovely, the locals are friendly and there are a lot of picturesque walks from the village where a car is not required, especially the nearby parks to the east. The WiFi was a bonus also.”

Mr Healey, Warrington, February 2015

“Had another amazing week at this house. The house was always lovely and warm even in the colder days and is big enough that nobody is on top of each other.”

About the location

BROUGHTON-IN-FURNESS

Millom 7.5 miles; Coniston 9 miles; Ulverston 9.5 miles.

Dating back to the 11th century, Broughton-in-Furness is situated in the south western corner of the Lake District and is just six miles from Coniston Water. There is much to please the visitor such as a pretty, cobbled square complete with a splendid horse chestnut tree, enclosed by shops, pubs and homes, many of them Georgian in origin. The village provides an ideal base for a walking or climbing holiday, with ample opportunity to explore the rugged beauty of the Duddon Valley and the quieter Lake District fells. Norman Nicholson, one of Britain's finest 20th century poets and William Wordsworth, both immortalised this area in their writing and poetry. The village was home to Branwell Bronte, brother of the Bronte sisters, for a short time. The Furness railway line runs from nearby Foxfield and makes for an ideal day out, travelling the west coast of Cumbria. Set amidst the charm of the Lake District and close to the sea, this attractive town makes an inspiring choice from which to further explore a magical heartland of silver lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely, heather-clad moors.
